My AC system seems to have lost some of its freon and doesn't blow as cold as it used to.

My trunk needs to be repainted (hopefully soon)

I have a few blown bulbs on the interior (no biggie yet)

I guess my gripes aren't so bad considering the age of the car and the mileage...

'86 LS - tires should be replaced. Only cause I bought them june, 2000. Yes they're 10 years old. but have probably 90% or more tread left. Paint is another issue. The PO must have had the car painted by Larry, Curly, & Moe.

'03 Pace car - I do not wan to sound negative here. The miles put on the car running to/from Michigan recently have really added up. On the brighter side. We looked really cool out on I-75 in the car.

'06 LTZ - the sinking battery is going dead again. I have to keep the charger on it most of the time.

03 - really no grips and the ISS clunk hasn't reared its ugly head for a while.
05 - silver cars are invisible cause I found 2 marks on my back bumper from people running into me WTF and the idiot who side swiped me in the parking lot. And the burnt out radio and CC buttons.

There are a few rock chips in my hood, that just drives me nuts.

I need new tires, new struts, and new rear brakes.

Larry, Curly, & Moe... Aren't they the Pep Boys from Pep Boys automotive?
(p.s. -- yes I know they're the 3 stooges. Love the stooges... wiseguy! {slap} )


RJ, with the miles being put on the Pace Car. I can understand why people like to trailer their car to shows. But you risk having people call your car a "trailer queen". If you can live with the label, fine. But on the other hand, driving the car is more fun.

On the 06 LTZ -- how many batteries have you gone through on that car so far? Aren't you on the 3rd battery now?

The gripes I have on mine are the rock chips.

The car was a dealership demo that sat on the GM dealership's GRAVEL lot for three years. So it already had 3 years of stone chips when I bought it.

What kind of GM dealership still has a gravel lot???

But then to make it worse, the city I live in has had a record number of road construction projects for the past 3 years. More stone chips, since there's no avoiding the road construction around here.

I would really love to get my front bumper, hood and roof re-painted. But I'm afraid the color won't match perfectly afterwards (big pet peeve of mine), and also the money would be wasted because of all the road construction still going on.

some cars are great, but it is ten times better driving them than hauling. I would think most of us here would agree.
